Chloe Malle was just named the new U.S. head of editorial content at Vogue. This major move reinforces her power on the legendary fashion periodical’s masthead as she remains in the trenches reporting to Anna Wintour. A 14-year veteran at Vogue, Malle brings an incredibly diverse skillset at the ripe age of 39. During that time, she’s forged her own path as a creative visionary and an authoritative industry journalist.
Malle has continued to do full time work as editor of Vogue.com and co-host of the magazine’s podcast, “The Run-Through.” Her ability to juggle multiple responsibilities while infusing joy and imagination into her work has been noted by colleagues and superiors alike. Condé Nast’s chief content officer, global editorial director at Vogue and former U.S. Anna Wintour, expressed admiration for Malle’s commitment.
“Chloe has put in as many late nights as anybody at Condé Nast, all without losing her creative imagination or her sense of fun. Her colleagues admire her startling acumen but also her warmth. Her desk is a place of guidance and contagious joy.” – Anna Wintour
Malle’s appointment coincides with a key moment for the fashion industry, which is facing an environment of significant and abrupt change. Wintour has faith that Malle will know how to honor Vogue’s deep roots, while pushing the divisions toward a more modern future.
“At a moment of change both within fashion and outside it, we must continue to be both the standard-bearer and the boundary-pushing leader. Chloe has proven often that she can find the balance between American Vogue’s long, singular history and its future on the front lines of the new. I am so excited to continue working with her, as her mentor but also as her student, while she leads us and our audiences where we’ve never been before.” – Anna Wintour
Chloe Malle, artist and writer, daughter of actress Candice Bergen. Candice is of course widely known for her iconic work on both “Murphy Brown” and as Carrie Bradshaw’s Vogue editor on “Sex and the City.” This background injects a compelling layer to her storyline that takes place within the fashion industry. For her part, Malle has been insistent that she isn’t looking to supplant Wintour.
“The truth is that no one’s going to replace Anna.” – Chloe Malle
Malle’s depth of experience and creative insight make her a natural fit to build on this new role. Here she is at the W Magazine 50th Anniversary event, presented by Lexus, in October of 2022. Adding this appearance to her filmography truly cemented her status as a force in the industry.
